Zuni tribal government

The Zuni tribe has a democratically elected government led by a Governor and Tribal Council, responsible for making decisions on community welfare, resources, and cultural preservation. Authority is rooted in traditional values combined with contemporary governance structures. The Tribal Council, composed of elected members, enacts policies and manages finances, while the Governor oversees day-to-day operations. The Zuni also value communal consensus and maintain strong ties to their cultural and spiritual practices, blending modern governance with their heritage to ensure their community’s well-being and continuity.
